How many M520's do we have here in the forum?

[rubiranch]

Mines been fired 102 times.

The first two by the original owner. One test round and he took his own life with the second round.

The investigating office's mark is on the bottom of the grip.

The second owner fired it 100 times and never shot it again. It sat in his safe for years........

I'm owner number three and I have yet to fire it.

How many of the 3000 produced do forum member have?

Thanks

Don't know but just sold one today.

 

[TTSH]

I've got one. Bought brand-new-in-box four decades ago. Never fired it. Nope, not for sale.

Model 520

I never understood an Officer marking up a weapon with His I.D. number.
You have the model number, serial number, caliber, barrel length, finish, plus outstanding features particular to the individual weapon. Plus the weapon goes into a sealed evidence bag.

As usual, TTSH left poor Jeppo in his dust. Mine isn’t NIB.

I have one that was used so I seldom go to the range with out the 520. The revolver is a lot of fun to shoot. I have no idea how many rounds I have put thru it.

'Cus they used to do it on Perry Mason. "Yes, I can identify that gun. It has my mark on it." So sayth Lt. Tragg.

If the boss says they want it marked, you mark it. Some places have specific requirements for evidence.

I got this one about 7 or 8 years ago. It had the Target grips on it. Right after I posted it I got a PM from a member and he sold me a set of PC magnas for it. Also a copy of the letter sent by the factory to distributors about the 520 from another forum member.

We were required to do it so that the officer who collected that piece of evidence could be identified months or years later for trial purposes. I hated doing it to valuable items, but it was necessary to maintain a chain of custody.

We have one less 520 in the forum than we need.....that's one of my next hunts.

I think it was Sgt. Joe Friday.

A friend gave me the complete series. I'm taking a break right now.

Awesome show.

I hope you find one.

One day I'll put at least another 50 rounds thru mine.

That's awesome that you have that letter.
